Same Jacob, raised in the 1800s
It turns out Jacob did not die. He fell through the pond and landed in 1790. We meet him again, fully grown, living in 1814 Port Haven. What it does to a family to lose a child and then meet them as an adult who's been gone twenty-four years is what Season 2 is about.
